Any time there is a possibility of freezing rain in the forecast everyone should pay attention closely. It does not take much freezing rain to cause a lot of trouble. The good thing with tonight's freezing rain is that it will be very light. However, I do want you to be aware of the potential of slippery spots late tonight. I am not expecting any precipitation before midnight. Here is a timeline of tonight's event.
The image above is from 2am. There will likely be some snow and sleet eventually mixing with some freezing rain moving in.
By 4am, the mix is over the metro area. This would be the most likely time that we would have some road issues.
By 8am most of the area will have temperatures above freezing so besides wet roads, there should not be too much trouble.
By noon on Friday most of the precipitation is gone. Have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day.
